Most cereals contain ingredients that are just not good for us. If you
look at the ingredients a lot of the time you will see that there are
lots of vitamins added to the dry cereal. I bet you thought that was a
good thing!! It's not! When you see all of the vitamins listed, it
means that the cereal has been processed over and over again.Many
cereals also add BHT (food preservative, also used in cosmetic &
pharmaceuticals, may promote growth of cancer and tumors cells if
ingested regularly).

For the best breakfast cereals look high and low...literally. They
keep the Oatmeal (plain) and shredded wheat and puffed wheat, rice and
corn on the very top or very bottom shelf. This is no accident. They
want the sugary stuff at eye level and within reach of kids. Far as I
know the only cereal that is 100% whole grain are the ones I just
listed. The others may contain some whole grain but that isn't the
same thing.

Interesting history behind cereal. Kellogg who formulated the first
commercial cereal tried to keep sugar out of it. His original formula
contained no sweetner, but his brother and business partner got his
way. Too bad. I would like to taste some corn flakes without any
sugar. Heck, you could always add Splenda or nothing that way. dkw

Eggs are the best breakfast for your kids.

Oatmeal has its place too.

I hear ya!! I really is too bad if you think about it. So many natural
things like Oatmeal and puffed wheat that we all grew up eating, is
being replaced with Froot Loops...etc cause kids love sugar, and it
sells. It really is up to us to read lables, and feed out children
right. Thanks for your imput!!

Whose eye level? I ever have trouble finding what I want. The heavily
sugared and flavoured cereals tend to be grouped together. Shredded Wheat
is arranged by box size, the largest on the bottom shelf and the smallest
sizes and spoon size on the higher shelves. There are several types and
brands of oatmeal and other hot cereals all together. The large size
economy brands on the bottom, better quality brands above that, Irish steel
cut and other hot cereals on top of that.

I never buy sweetened cereals. I prefer using a very dark brown sugar to
the flavourless sugar they use.

Still have them in my house. I never eat cereal. Occasionally I'll have
grits for breakfast but it's usually eggs.

Not at my Walmart. The plain oatmeal is on the lower shelves, but the
shredded wheat and puffed wheat and rice on on the very top shelf.
True, there are other cereals next to the good stuff, but that is
because they don't have enough good stuff to fill those shelves. I
have trouble even reaching those if they get shoved back a little.
It's arranged principally according to profits and marketing. They
make more money on the sugary stuff, so they want it to be handiest to
the largest no. of people. I would say the high profit items are
placed at eye level or slightly below, for an av. sized person...say
5' 6". Many people simply do not look up or down too far...especially
up. I have to admit, I never even saw the puffed wheat and rice way up
there for years, until I started actively seeking cereal with no added
sugar. dkw

Add that to my list of reasons not to shop at WalMart, but marketing is a
game. I buy Quaker large flake oatmeal and Shredded Wheat. The price of the
oatmeal is fairly consistent, varying by more more than 10 cents per 1 kg.
bag. Shredded Wheat OTOH varies by as much as $1.25 per box (24).
Curiously, it the 4 different stores where I shop, the large boxes of
Shredded Wheat are always on the bottom shelf..... kid level.
